The familyname Sterenberg seems to be popular in Groningen. In Genlias are 143 grooms with this familyname, Of those are 116 in Groningen, 8 in Drenthe, 7 in Friesland, 9 in Gelderland I did not look for the remaining 3. The oldest one is in 1811 when Hindrik Sterenberg, born 3 april 1782 in Appingedam, married in Appingedam. The site www.allegroningers.nl has the baptizms, marriages and burials before 1812 of Appingedam online. At the baptizm uses the father a patronymic, but the mother uses familyname Sterenberg. See attachment. http://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nfd/ tells us that Sterenberg is an address name, probably the name of a farm somewhere in Groningen
